Hello everyone! My name is Brandon Kester, welcome and thanks for reading my first ever blog which I am doing for my Environmental Science class. First I would like to share some information about myself for my readers to get a better understanding of the person behind the blogs that I will eventually be posting. So where should I start? I am 18 years old, and just beginning my second year of college at Riverside Community. I was born, and raised here in Riverside California where almost all of my family lives. I am the oldest of three boys, and I have always had to be a good role model for my younger brothers. With my father not being around much and my mother never having a steady income, growing up was a little hard but somehow our family always managed to get by. I was a pretty good kid growing up, I got average grades, never got in trouble, and got along with everyone. I was very active, I was riding a bike without training wheels by the age of three, started riding motorcycles and quads when I was eight, and I played baseball from the age of six up until I graduated high school. I am currently employed at South Coast Foam Shapes here in Riverside, and we specialize in architectural foam shapes. I find my job to be very interesting, I actually do enjoy work. I hold so many responsibilities at my job that I cant keep count, but I like it because it keeps me busy and makes time fly. Between going to school full time, working, and still being 18, the only time I have had the past year has been for eating and sleeping.
Being the oldest my mother has always depended on me, and she still does a lot. As soon as I turned 18, I moved away from my mom and came to live with my grandparents because they needed my help. I have always been a very independent kid, and part of making the choice to leave my mom, and live with my grandparents was to show her that I can be on my own, and take on more responsibility. Because to be honest I have never really gotten to leave Riverside, or go anywhere interesting, I cant wait to finally move away, and be completely on my own. I know it sounds boring and that's because it is but the farthest place I have been is Colorado and that was on family vacation when I was ten years old. I plan to move is Northern California, and transfer to Humboldt State University, that is what I am working towards in my life right now. To finally be able to move out of Riverside has been a long time dream of mine. I am currently majoring in Humanities and Philosophy, and I am hoping to soon transfer, and double major in philosophy, and environmental engineering. I have set big goals for myself, and I work everyday towards achieving those goals because I am determined to move away to be on my own. I will be leaving behind all my family but they all stand behind me and support that I want to move. I honestly took environmental science because it is something I am very interested in since I plane to major in environmental engineering. What I hope to do with environmental engineering is go into the renewable energy field, because I feel that is what we need to be looking towards. Renewable energy has a future, and it also betters the planet. So I hope that through this environmental science class I am taking that renewable energy will tie in with a lot of the environmental topics that we cover.
Well that's pretty much it for me, I told you a lot about myself in as brief of a fashion as I could! I hope you learned a little about me, and will continue to follow my blogs as I go along, learning and developing my own opinions on environmental topics throughout this semester of my Environmental Science Class.
